Consolidated tables showing an extensive listing of the highest independently confirmed efficiencies for solar cells and modules are presented. Guidelines for inclusion of results into these tables are outlined, and new entries since July 2024 are reviewed.
The following tables summarize this year's cost benchmarks and resulting LCOE values, for PV-only systems and for PV+ESS. All dollar values are inflation-adjusted to 2023 U.
